Making of an Exhibition: On the Clothesline. Romanian Dowry (Romanian Peasant Museum & Romanian Cultural Institute, London, September 2009)

Summary/Abstract: Hanging precious peasant textiles on improvised clotheslines might not have been a first for the Peasant Museum curators1, yet it was certainly a first for the London guests attending the opening of an exhibition that forced them to touch the exhibits, bend in order to pass underneath them and even get lost in the labyrinth of Romanian strings, clothes and images. Early in 2009, the Romanian Peasant Museum received the tempting invitation of exhibiting in London, at the Thames Festival and the Romanian Cultural Institute. Nine months later, in September, the exhibition was born in the sumptuous ground-floor exhibition space in Belgrave Square, London.
